Artsy Lens, Part II

Same day, check out his nubby little teeth, heh! See this image larger. Gotta remind myself to remove all eye boogers before photoshoot. See this image larger. Someday me calling these his “Luke Skywalker Hair Days” will make more sense to him. See this image larger. Still has a heart of gold. See this image […]

Artsy Lens, Part I

September 24th, and I pulled out the artsy lens to see what kind of images we would get! Practice shot on the kitty. See this image larger. *What’re you doin’?* See this image larger.

With Heavy and Broken Hearts, We Trudge On…

Everyone that knows Chris is feeling the same thing I am, I’m sure of it. An emptiness. It is impossible to move at times; difficult to breathe. But I know that the less that I do, the more this is hurting me; and the more Chris is rolling his eyes at me. So I’m going […]

Farewell, Uncle Chris

The world feels a lot colder already without you around, and I wish so much that you could come back to us. I am thrilled that, long before you left, we re-connected: sometimes brothers don’t. We never grew apart per se, but we just got very busy; and it was so nice to hang out […]

Nina seemed to really like […]

The Best 50 Cents I Ever Spent

I went to a garage sale across the street, where a little girl was selling off a lot of her favorite stuff. There, I spied a “Care Bears” tent that looked perfect for Nina to get a little time away from Ian, if she wanted to. It cost me 50 cents, and I honestly can’t […]

10 Awesome Years

Dialogue, September 8th Ian finds out Daddy likes cottage cheese but never gets to eat it because his kids like it so much: “We should buy some cottage cheeses and write on there ‘for daddy’s only.’” Ian, during dinner…regarding the food no longer on his plate:“I’m makin art!” Ian, helping Daddy snip one branch off […]

Nina September/October Daycare Notes

As I’ve mentioned before, we get a sheet from daycare telling us how are children did that day, every day. I noticed with Ian that there’s just a certain point in their lives where these notes get more interesting, and the same is holding true for Nina at around that same age. Here’s some of […]

September 2011 Trip to the Cottage, Part III

Here Nina’s on the iPhone 3GS. See this image larger. *Brother, I see you’re on an iPad with a much larger screen… Gimme.* […]
